Dialog Fields

The tables below describe the dialog fields.

Report View

This group of controls defines the appearance and behaviour of the report areas: the match tree and the file viewer.

Field	Description
Even line colour	Defines the colour of the first (zero-based) and the consecutive alternate matches in the file match report and the file viewer.
Odd line colour	Defines the colour of the second (zero-based) and the consecutive alternate matches in the file match report and the file viewer.
Selected line colour	Defines the colour of the selected match in the file match report and the file viewer.
Reset	Click to reset colours to their default values.
Scroll to first match after the search completes	If checked, the first file in the tree will be selected and its contents loaded in the viewer.
Live report update	If this option is unchecked, the search results are added to the file match tree and no scrolling to the last added item occurs. If this option is checked, the search results are added to the file match tree and the tree scrolls every time a new item is added. Enabling this option slows down the processing speed.
Include zero-hit files in report (when searching)	The TW versions prior to 3.1 did not include files not containing the target text in the report when performing the search (unlike the Replace). This option allows to include files not containing the sought text in the report.
Maximum number of matches to highlight in files	Sometimes, especially when you process and then view very large files that may contain a lot of occurrences of the sought text, you can notice the process of match marking in the Browser view is extremely time consuming. This option lets you put restrictions on the maximum number of matches that can be marked in the Browser view. The most reasonable value lies over the range of 1000 matches.

Application Icon

Field	Description
Show icon in system tray	This option tells to place the application icon in the system tray (area that contains the system clocks). The application icon will not be listed on the Windows Taskbar when the HandyFile Find And Replace window is minimized, thus allowing to save space.
Show icon in taskbar	This option tells to list the application icon on the Windows Taskbar (the default behavior).
Show icons both in taskbar and system tray	This option combines the previous two modes: tells to place the application icon in the system tray and on the Windows Taskbar.
Animate system tray icon during the processing	If you select to display an icon in the tray, you can check this option to enable the icon animation during the process time. The animation had been optimized to be not resource-consuming, so you can use it as an indicator of any long-lasting operation. You can choose between the two animation types: rotating: and blinking:

Windows Shell

Field	Description
Add HandyFile Find and Replace to folder context menu	if checked, folder context menus in Windows Explorer contain command HandyFile Find And Replace in this folder. This provides quicker access to the HandyFile Find And Replace functions from within Windows shell.
Add HandyFile Find and Replace to file context menu	if checked, file context menus in Windows Explorer contain command HandyFile Find And Replace on this file.

Other options

Field	Description
Display tooltips for user interface parts	If checked, tooltips (small text labels) will appear when you hover the mouse pointer over any control (button, field etc) of the programme window. Tooltips give brief description of these controls.
